'Prolific shoplifter' locked up after Telford B&M theft
A prolific shoplifter has been sentenced for breaking his Criminal Behaviour Order.
Telford & Wrekin Police said that Mark Vaughan-Brown, of Beddoes Close in Shifnal, was arrested on Thursday, July 17, following a theft at B&M in Telford town centre.
They said the 54-year-old was subsequently charged with four counts of theft from store and breaching his Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO), which prevented him from entering Telford shopping centre.
Vaughan-Brown was remanded in custody and appeared at Telford Magistrates Court on Monday, July 21, where he pled guilty to all charges and was given a 36-week custodial sentence.
Sergeant Rich Jones, from Telford's Town Centre Team, said: “Thanks to officers and members of the public helping us to enforce Vaughan-Brown's CBO, a prolific Telford shoplifter has been put behind bars.
“As he had a CBO in place he was swiftly charged and remanded before appearing at Telford Magistrates Court earlier this week, where he was handed a custodial sentence.”
